GHG Assurance Workbench

Self-assessment tool to prepare your GHG data for third-party verification. 30 checks across completeness, accuracy, consistency, transparency, and relevance — aligned with what assurers actually verify under ISO 14064-3.

What This Tool Does

This is a self-assessment preparation tool, not a substitute for formal assurance. Use it to identify and fix issues in your GHG data before engaging an independent verifier.

30 Verification Checks

Checks aligned with ISO 14064-3 verification principles: completeness of boundaries, accuracy of calculations, consistency of methods, transparency of assumptions, and relevance of emission factors.

BRSR Core KPI Mapping

Maps directly to the GHG-related BRSR Core indicators: Scope 1+2 emissions intensity (per revenue), Scope 1+2 emissions intensity (per output), and energy consumption intensity.

Materiality Assessment

Calculates materiality thresholds for your GHG statement. Flags data points where errors could lead to material misstatement during formal verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a substitute for formal GHG assurance?

No. This is a self-assessment preparation tool. It helps you identify and fix common issues before engaging an independent verification body. For formal BRSR Core assurance, you need an independent provider — see our AA1000 Assurance platform.

Which emission factors should I use for Indian operations?

For Scope 2 (grid electricity), use the CEA CO2 Baseline Database (latest: v19, 2024, ~0.716 kgCO2/kWh combined margin). For Scope 1 fuels, use IPCC 2006/2019 default factors or India-specific factors from BEE/TERI. For refrigerants, use IPCC AR6 GWP values.

Which BRSR Core KPIs relate to GHG?

Three BRSR Core indicators: GHG emissions intensity per revenue (tCO2e/crore), GHG emissions intensity per output, and energy consumption intensity. These require independent assurance for top 500 companies from FY 2025-26.

Need Independent GHG Verification?

GSustain (our ISEP-accredited verification body) provides independent assurance under ISO 14064-3, ISAE 3410, and AA1000AS v3.
